2.2 Singular and Paired Tags

HTML Tags

Tags are instructions that are embedded directly into the text of a HTML document. Each HTML
tag describes that the browser should do something instead of simply displaying the text. In
HTML, the tags begin with (<) and end with (>)
HTML tags can be of two types. They are:
1. Paired Tags
2. Unpaired Tags
Paired Tags: A tag is said to be a paired tag if the text is placed between a tag and its companion
tag. In paired tags, the first tag is referred to as Opening Tag and the second tag is referred to as
Closing Tag.

Example:
<i>This text is in italics. </i>

Notes Note: Here <i> is called opening tag. and </i> is called closing tag.
Unpaired Tags: An unpaired tag does not have a companion tag. Unpaired tags are also known
as Singular or Stand-Alone Tags.

Example: <br> , <hr> etc. These tags does not require any companion tag.
